so how are you ten years late that you're now making fun of emo kids when YTMND, youtube vids, memes etc. have beaten that horse to death years ago?

Yeah i kinda have to agree on this i just find it odd that they choose to make fun of emos when they've already been mocked to death in other comedy movies&cartoons etc etc

Quote:

Obviously SP makes fun of everyone and it's no secret that emo/goth/whatever idolize Poe because he was one of the pioneers of Gothic Literature, but making him Goth was pointless.

I agree ditto on this one in the episode where stan&everyone try to imitate WWE wrestlers and in the end how we get an unexpected ending where we actually see what happens of the real wrestler of his hardships that was a meaningful message.

But here in the goth kids there is really not message or twist ending... its just comedy it would've been nice if they made him yell in the end "You all idiots don't know actual pain or suffering ! you all are just bunch of spoiled first world brats wearing fancy makeup!"

that would've made a fitting end to this goth/emo because that's the message they were giving that they all are just idiotic overly pessimistic groups of people who need to learn a lesson(which they never do ironically) and vamp kids are basically just team edward/jacob.

This thread is now the official Bitch about Season 17 Megathread.

I prefer my thread to be taken seriously in context for a mature discussion a thread title like that begs for more immaturity.

EDIT: Anyway the next episode with ike seems to be most interesting one as somehow ike is going through puberty and kyle is trying to be bond with him(kinda reminds me of "Going native" episode) and it was awesome.

Every thread like this that starts out seriously eventually degenerates into a thread full of immaturity. And then I have to go around and either delete them or merge them together.

Oh lulz at Neuroheart. So they stepped outside the box by doing something that was stale 7 years ago? If they went for something new and failed thats fine but this was rehashing old material and not even doing it well.

To paraphrase Billy Bob Thorton "Well they can't all be winners now can they?" ..and I usually just move past the duds and enjoy the great episodes, but this one was so bad that it felt noticeably lazy and phoned in. Like they had a good concept idea to do something about the Goth kids...then ran out of ideas and pushed this out at the last second.

One or two episodes can save an eh season so we'll see how this season ends up whether it has a few keepers or is just skippable.

*sigh* English, motherf*cker, do you speak it?See, what I said was...

...which is clearly the case. You think they should be doing certain things, and they aren't.

Also, yeah, they went outside the expectations of most viewers by doing an episode that dared to focus on characters that, until now, had been nameless and auxiliary. Every time this happens, there are viewers who will bitch about it. (My guess would be that this is why it took "so long" for them to make this episode; they were worried about the backlash of doing a Goth Kids episode.)

And they can't really be said to be rehashing old material if they've never done an episode like this before. I do not think that word means what you think it means.

In short, the epic fail is yours. Thanks for playing.

To believe in something just because you're afraid of the consequences if you don't believe in something is no reason to believe in something.

I'm not bummed out, for me season 17 has started off better than 14, 15, or 16. The quality of the episodes in South Park have a wide variation in their quality. I can't think of any other show that can go from hilarious to virtually unwatchable within a period of a week. Another odd quality about the show is that there is little consensus among fans about which episodes are good. Some of the ones that I detest have gotten glowing reviews on this forum.

In the end for me, the best episodes are so good that I will sit through an entire season of mediocrity to find one. It's like sifting through a truckload of sand hoping to find a single diamond.

Everything good comes to an end, folks. The show is dying. Matt and Trey have their fingers in too many pies now and things change. I think this should be the last season before they tarnish the amazing SP legacy any further.
